THE BEAUTY OF EGGS

What is an egg? At first glance, it doesn't seem to be anything special aesthetically speaking, but if you take a closer/deeper look at this wonder of nature, it is quite extraordinary...

It's beige-brownish/white shell looks very common and has nothing to offer in order to capture our attention. It is plain simple and not pretentious shape-wise. On the contrary, the inside of an egg is very interesting, because it is very graphic with it's contrasting colors (the perfect/pure white and the gorgeous yoke/yellow) and textures (runny/solid, creamy/jelly-like).As humble as it looks, it is an amazingly photogenic "object" whether it is photographed in it's raw or cooked form. In their apparent simplicity, eggs can subjugate you totally as their perfect and flawless aspect has a meditative effect one you and tends to soothe your soul!

I totaly agree with you, and what it looks like is not to speak about what it truly contains: life.Have you traveled a lot, Rosa? Did you know that American eggs are white? Some European people have never seen white eggs and find it strange!We get both now, brown and white since about... 10 years.They say there is absolutely no difference, that it has to do with the type of hen that layed'em.You can even find natural pink, blue and green eggs in specialty stores!!!Great pictures, nice thoughts... as usual! Gooday!

VIBI: Thanks, Vibi :-D!!! No, I have not travelled a lot, unfortunately... Here, we also have white eggs (as well as red and brown ones). No, I didn't know that they were only white in the US. Yes, it has to do with the hen that layed them... I never saw natural pink or green eggs in our stores. Have a nice day!

MARION: Merci pour ton gentil commentaire!

GLAMAH16: Yes, indeed ;-P! What would baking be without that precious ingredient?!
